Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for determining the gear ratio engaged in a gearbox of a motor vehicle and its application to the determination of the speed of this motor vehicle in degraded mode .
- a sensor is used to determine the speed of the vehicle. This sensor is required by most laws to allow the driver to know and control the speed of his vehicle. This sensor is however also used for the proper functioning of electronic devices which use this data, such as for example a cruise control. In the event of a speed sensor failure, the driver of the vehicle does not know his speed (hence a possible risk of speeding) and the on-board devices using this data become inoperative. Such devices are more and more numerous on modern vehicles.
- the speed sensor generally makes it possible to determine the distance traveled by the vehicle. It then becomes impossible in the event of a speed sensor failure to plan maintenance operations which are determined according to the mileage traveled.
- a second sensor to compensate for a failure of the speed sensor, it is known to provide for the presence of a second sensor. The latter then takes over from the former when the latter fails.
- This solution is satisfactory except that its cost price is relatively high. It can therefore only be reserved for high-end vehicles.
- the problem at the origin of the present invention is to be able to overcome the failure of a speed sensor without having to significantly increase the cost price of the vehicle.
- the invention proposes to calculate the speed from the engine speed and the gearbox gear engaged.
- gearbox gear engaged is determined during a gear ratio change by dividing one by the other, the values of the engine speed measured just before and just after the gear change and by comparing the result of this division with preset preset values which depend on the gearbox fitted to the vehicle.
- a gearbox has an input shaft which is driven by the engine of the vehicle on which it is mounted and an output shaft which drives the wheels of this vehicle. When a gearbox ratio is engaged, the ratio of the speed of rotation of the output shaft by the speed of rotation of the input shaft (or vice versa) is a constant.
- the speed of rotation of the input shaft corresponds to the engine speed and the speed of rotation of the output shaft gives the speed of rotation of the driving wheels of the vehicle which is proportional (except for slippage) to the speed of movement of this vehicle. It is therefore sufficient to multiply the value of the engine speed by a constant which is a function of the gear engaged to obtain a fairly precise value of the speed of movement of the vehicle.
- To determine the gearbox gear engaged we take advantage of a gear change and at that time we look at the engine speed before and after the change. It is then assumed that the speed of the vehicle is substantially constant before and after this change because on the one hand this change is made in a limited period of time and on the other hand the acceleration of the vehicle is generally moderate.
- the change in gearbox ratio is detected for example by a sensor placed on this clutch.
- This sensor is advantageously a contactor, the cost price of which is generally low.
- the value of the engine speed is then preferably memorized at each change of state of the contactor.
- the present invention concerning the determination of the gear ratio engaged in a gearbox can be applied to the determination of the speed of a vehicle.
- the invention proposes a method for determining the speed of a vehicle using sensors on board the vehicle, the vehicle being driven by an engine coupled to a gearbox.
- the vehicle speed is determined by multiplying the engine speed value obtained by a sensor by a predetermined coefficient as a function of the gearbox gear engaged, and the gearbox gear engaged is determined by applying a method as described above.
- a method for determining the speed of a vehicle according to the invention can be implemented only in degraded mode or else permanently.
- Degraded mode is a mode in which a speed sensor intended to give the speed of the vehicle usually no longer fulfills its function.
- the calculated speed is preferably compared to the value of the speed measured by a speed sensor.
- FIG. 1 The single figure represents schematically a top view of a motor vehicle.
- a motor vehicle 2 shown very schematically.
- An arrow at the front of it represents its normal direction of movement.
- This vehicle has four wheels 4.
- the two front wheels 4 are driven and are driven by a motor 6 via a gearbox 8 coupled to the engine 6 via a clutch 10.
- a speed sensor arranged for example at the output shaft of the gearbox 8, to determine the speed of the vehicle. This speed sensor also makes it possible to determine the distance traveled by the vehicle.
- these two pieces of information are supplied first of all to the driver by means of a tachometer and an odometer placed at the level of the dashboard of the vehicle 2.
- This information is then also used for electronic devices on board of vehicle 2 such as, for example, a cruise control, a device managing the maintenance operations to be carried out, etc.
- the present invention proposes to measure the speed of the vehicle at using other sensors generally available on a motor vehicle.
- a sensor determines the speed N of the engine 6.
- Another sensor makes it possible to determine whether the clutch is in the engaged or disengaged position. This sensor is placed for example at the clutch 10.
- An engine management and control device which receives information from various sensors of the vehicle, memorizes the value of the engine speed N at each change of state of the contactor, that is to say when the contactor engages or fires. Other memorization strategies can be envisaged.
- the management and control device can for example permanently store, or at regular intervals, the engine speed N.
- the driver acts on the clutch 10.
- the speed Ni is then determined just before declutching by measuring this speed when the switch disposed at the clutch 10 engages and the engine speed N 2 is measured after clutching when the contactor trips.
- the calculation of the speed in function of engine speed and gearbox ratio esses engaged is carried out continuously. The engaged gear ratio is thus known at all times. Thus, when the main speed sensor fails, the gear engaged is known and the calculation in degraded mode can immediately take over from the calculation of the normal speed, without even waiting for a gearbox change.
- the fact of continuously calculating the speed as a function of the speed and of the gearbox engaged can also make it possible to detect the failure of a sensor.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of nonlimiting example. It also relates to all the variant embodiments within the reach of those skilled in the art within the scope of the claims below.
- This process can of course also work with a vehicle fitted with an automatic gearbox. In this case the clutch is replaced by a converter which fulfills the same role as the clutch in vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
